All School Announcements
Message from Dr. Breuder:
It is hard to believe that it is the end of September! This first month of school flew by. I took my son to college, which has opened up a new experience for me as a mom….giving him space and not hovering over him (he is attending the University of Washington), while adjusting to life at home with my daughter. We have been a family of three for so long, so having just two of us at home is an adjustment.
September 30th is Orange Shirt Day. Monday, September 30th, marks the day of remembrance and education of the residential school system and impact on Indigenous communities. https://orangeshirtday.org/orange-shirt-day/
Curriculum Nights: Please note the Curriculum Nights scheduled for Middle School (October 1st) and Elementary (October 9th).
Dropoff and pickup: Just a few reminders about the busy times of drop-off and pickup:
- Please help maintain our relationships with our neighbors by following the identified flow of traffic. We know that these are especially busy times of the day, so please leave a little extra time.
- Please do not cut through the parking lots of the neighboring businesses , including Peak Sports and Spine Physical Therapy, as this has been impacting the clientele (which includes many injured and older patients) of their business.
- You will see our Safety Patrol out during drop-off and pick-up. These students have volunteered to help keep our community safe, so please help them by following their directions.
